...First Snow” boasts some shining moments but never achieves originality. Cinematography by Eric Alan Edwards lends an eerie and surreal sense to the film by incorporating images of the sparse New Mexico desert in various states of gloom. While interesting as a stand-alone project, the music by Cliff Martinez clashes with the content of the film. Classical and refined, the score falls short of creating the tense mood that is clearly intended. As both director and screenwriter, Fergus controls several key components of his film, but he squanders his opportunity on a grandiose vision that never materializes...

...wasn't always so. The U.S. Constitution leaves voting rules up to states and cities, and from 1776 to 1926, 40 states and territories allowed noncitizens to vote in local and even federal elections, according to Ron Hayduk, a co-founder of the Immigrant Voting Project. Anti-immigrant sentiment put an end to that, and the aftermath of World War I created a mistrust of foreigners that led all states to make voting the sole privilege of U.S. citizens...

...orderly, fair election in Nigeria would give a mighty fillip to the democratic project in Africa. The transfer of power from one elected President to another would also be a first for Nigeria. If all goes well, an important test will have been passed, an important example set. But already there is widespread fraud and violence, and if the result is contested by substantial numbers of voters, the turmoil will affect the whole continent. Nigeria is not just its most populated country, it is the big brother of West Africa...
